Computer "jerks" Every Second.

It's not doing it now, but I'm on a laptop and most of the time it appears to be fine, but it's starting to do it more often now. It will start to freeze, and then unfreeze.. freeze, and then unfreeze. The freezes just come as a little jerk, so it doesn't prevent me from using my computer.. but it's extremely annoying and it will stop whenever I restart my computer. But most days I have to restart like 4 times, and it's impossible to watch videos while it's happening, because the sound will also stop and start along with the freezes.

I have Ad-Aware and I did a scan and it turned up clean.. but I thought maybe you guys might notice something in a HijackThis log.. so here it is and I appreciate any help you can offer.

Open Hijackthis, Click Open the Misc tools section Then click the Open Uninstall Manager... button.
The Add/Remove Programs Manager panel should appear.
In this panel click the Save list button.
Save the uninstall_list.txt file to your desktop and copy and paste the contents back in your next reply.

I did as you said and here is a copy of the uninstall list, and I also included another HijackThis log because I think I may be infected with something else, because my computer was acting funny (pop-ups, mouse disappears). I installed some anti-virus programs, but they didn't show any infections. So I don't know.

After install, close & restart Firefox. Then right click on the page (tab) you want to use in IE tab. This allows you to switch rendering engine.

If you go to View > Toolbars > make sure Bookmark Toolbar is checked. Then click "Customize" and look for the little IE logo. Click on that icon and drag it to your bookmark toolbar. This makes it much easier to use.
